Re: BRU Winter 2025 - 2026: news, new routes, airlines
Brussels Airlines tried and failed. IMHO a few business jets a week would be enough to transport the diamond traders. It did not fail. It was not loss making but not heaviliy profitable as well, but it didn't make sense to continue the flight as 'more profit' could be made on other destinations wit...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines
About the UK, Brussels Airlines will have 4 flight a day to London Heathrow with A320/A320neo, It was 3 times daily during S23, 4 times daily with a combination A319/A320/A320neo during W23/24 so it's quite an increase here. Yes, but not an increase to be excited about. The sole purpose of this ext...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
That still doesn't really explain the 4 weeks timeframe IMHO. TUI never took that long between the 1st commercial flight and the delivery of its brand new planes. That includes new types under the very slow BCAA. We're speaking Airbus here, not Boeing. Remember United receiving its first A321neo in...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
4 out of the 5 past years were profitable, albeit relatively low except for the year 2015. And the profit loss of the 2016 attacks are higher then the loss recovered from the insurance.

Re: Cruise speed vs top of descent
So basically, if I want to sequence using speed control instead of vectoring, I need to first descend with a good rate and then reduce the speed. If aircraft have to reduce their speed below a speed that is 'normal' for descent it would indeed be better to let them descend a bit earlier so that the...

Re: Cruise speed vs top of descent
If we have to reduce and maintain this reduced speed during the complete descent the top of descent will come forward. We'll have to start the descent earlier as we cannot descend as steeply as when we still had 300kts. Of course, this is when you follow an optimum glide with engines in idle. You ca...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
Sadly enough it's not that abnormal, especially flights arrive here in peaks and even then, a flight that is 15 min early and one that is 15min late can cause a sudden pax flow. Waiting times at border control CAN be high in any part of the world and I have waited +1hr in several other 'civilized' c...

Re: Flight planning question!!
It would help if you could provide your real life situation you were into. For ex. some airports close as from a certain hour, so if a flight is delayed it's possible that they depart with uncertainty/certainty if the airport will be closed by the time they arrive. In that case they just land at the...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019
SN will not be considered a 'real' network airline as they won't expand the BRU hub a lot. SN will most probably only expand in Africa and if needed for Africa also in the US. That's it.They won't become a network airline like SWISS with destinations in most of the continents. That's why they call i...

Re: National strike in Belgium on 13 February 2019
Bit touchy? Im wel aware of how connecting traffic works. However a large part of SN’s operation is ex-Thomas cook flights, exactly the same kind of operations TUI does. There is no reason why an effort shouldnt be made to get those people on their holiday on time, therefore my statement: cancellin...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
Anyone knows why SN is still hiring contract pilots through contractair? I thought some SN management pilots on here claimed it was only temporary to accommodate Avro to Airbus type ratings? Because they still have a shortage of pilots for upcoming summer season, positions they cannot fill from the...

Very poor. At the moment KGL-BRU around 5-10%. KGL-LGW around 15%. LF from BRU to KGL is between 0 and 3%.rwandan-flyer wrote: ↑17 Sep 2017, 08:22 Hi

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I think the chances of SN deploying A321's to Africa, except for maybe a single route, are slim. These aircraft simply don't have enough payload capacity for luggage and cargo load together. If they add A321's to their fleet it would probably be for high loadfactor routes as to the Canary Islands, B...
